First flutters

When did you feel those first little flutters you knew were defiantly baby movements. With my third I was adamant I could feel tiny flutters from 13 weeks and now I'm 13 weeks with number 4 I'm positive I've felt tiny little movements yesterday and today....anyone else?

I was 15 weeks. It's my first and I'm overweight so know that everything was telling me I shouldn't but I definitely did!
I loved feeling them (probably more than the booting I get now ha ha)

13 weeks with second baby. 100% sure.

12 weeks with second pregnancy, and 13 weeks with first. Despite being overweight!
I knew the first time around it wasn't gas. This time around when I told the sonographer at my 12 week scan I was feeling the baby, she told me she wasn't surprised as the baby is extremely active and it's my second so I recognise the feeling.
Generally when it comes to this, trust what you feel!

I’m approaching 17 weeks with my first, ladies - had a few niggles but it’s really hard to know what it feels like?! Yesterday they were in the exact spot/side that midwife found heartbeat on and were like faint non painful jabbing sensations that would come and go? Xx

I felt movements at 16/17 weeks with my first, and my hubby could feel them from about 21 weeks.

Currently pregnant with number 2 (coming up to 15 weeks) and I’ve been feeling movements everyday since the day I turned 13 weeks!

To me it feels like someone flicking my tummy from the inside. Or sometimes I feel pressure, like something is pushing out! I’d forgotten how lovely it is! My little girl is dying to be able to feel the kicks for herself!

Ive been wondering if I'm going crazy as I'm only 13+2 but on a couple of occasions over the past day or so when I've been laying quietly I have felt odd little vibrations. Everything I've read says there's no chance of feeling movements this early with a first baby yet part of me still wonders if maybe I am feeling him/her! I had my scan on Tuesday and the baby was certainly very active, wriggling all over the place.

I'm not big but not tiny. Around a size 10-12 and when I'm just laying still Im certain it's baby bubbles/flutters I'm feeling. It's only every now and again but it's So lovely 💗💙
